A Brand new fuel tank for a 90's Pontiac Sunfire... for $10!

Do I have a Sunfire? No. But I think it might be the right size for my Ratrod project... and by 'project' I mean the pile of random parts I am collecting in the garage in hopes of them congealing into functioning hot rod, to get around SWMBO's decree.

She said "no more CARS", she didn't say anything about PARTS

You may be the only person in the world to build an entire care around a '90's Sunbird fuel tank.
